Maine On My Mind.

In a bit over one week, summer will officially be over.

But my mind of late has been on heading back up to Deer Isle to paint, and work on our cabin.

I miss the chilly foggy mornings that turn into beautiful sunny afternoons. (Oil 24 X 12")

Getting up at 6 A.M. to go painting with my son Mason.

And all that makes Deer Isle such a magical place.

I'm counting the days.

    Thanks PB.
    The 2nd pic is my interpretation of a wider view of that harbor. The island on the right appears in the painting. I just did more of the shoreline.

    A real compliment coming from a "local."

    Thank you Jeanette.
    Always a challenge trying to stay one step ahead of Mother Nature, when painting on-site.
    But Maine, and in particular Deer Island,is a very magical place.
